A couple years ago we introduced you to Wrap Battle, so today it makes sense to present Unwrap Battle. That’s right, win fun prizes by testing your unwrapping skills. When we recently played we had a blast, plus we learned some important lessons we’ll share with you from our go at it last year. Unwrap Battle is a great and fun way to show appreciation to your team for all their hard work during the year. Of course, it can be played by any group.

In preparation for Unwrap Battle you will need to purchase candy, several prizes (gift cards) or have some money available. take individual prizes and candy and intersperse them within the plastic wrap. For example, take your largest prize and begin to wrap it in the saran wrap. Once you’ve covered it sufficiently, add another card with some candy. Repeat this process until all the plastic is used and all the prizes and candy are used.

Once everything is prepared, get two dice and a small plate that can be passed around. To start the game, get everyone into a circle and select someone who will be first to unwrap the ball of plastic wrap. Before they start, give the plate with two dice to the person on their left.

The goal is for the person who is rolling to try and roll doubles as fast as they can. Once they do, the person who is unwrapping must stop immediately and pass the ball of plastic wrap to them and the dice move to the next person on the left who starts rolling. Anything that is unwrapped and falls (or is taken) out belongs to the person who unwrapped it.

Two important rules to the game. First, if you are playing with families or spouses, they can not sit next to each other. Let’s just say we had a few people gaming the system.

Second, they must keep the ball in their lap as they unwrap. No throwing it to unroll it faster or raising it up in the air. A good rule of thumb is that one hand must be on the ball at all times, allowing them one free hand to unwrap it as they hold onto it.

We had an absolute blast with this game and we bet you will too!

BONUS TIPS

1. Play some Christmas music in the background for better atmosphere.

2. The amount of prizes will depend on the size of your group, but make sure you have plenty in there so everyone at least has a chance to win something.

3. Take some pictures or video of the action and use the post to thank people in your group.

4. If you use money, we recommend folding it up a few times. Paper is fairly easy to tear through in the chaos of the game.

You’re going to love Christmas Jingle Jumble! We recently played it at a Christmas gathering and I immediately knew we had to share it with you. It’s a fast-paced, fun game that involves some healthy teamwork and focus- and someone who knows Christmas songs is a definite plus!

Before you gather, purchase some Hershey Kisses and select your songs for Christmas Jingle Jumble. We’ve recommended some Christmas songs below and let you know how many words are in each song/chorus so you know how many Hershey Kisses to purchase. On the bottom of each kiss, write one word from the song. Once you have all the words, mix them up and place them in a Ziploc bag.

Joy To The World – 36 Words

Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

We Wish You A Merry Christmas – 39 Words

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Good tidings to you wherever you are
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year

Jingle Bells – 43 Words

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer- 88 Words (44 in first half, 44 in second half)

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
You’ll go down in history

Teams will work together to reorder the song in it’s proper order. Once a team is done, they will let you know and you can verify the correct order. Play one round or several depending on the size of your group and time available. Whichever team gets the most songs is the winner!

BONUS TIPS

1. Play some upbeat Christmas music in the background or even play the song they are trying to unscramble to help them get the order right.

2. To know how many Hershey Kisses you need, you can always check the bag, but in general, you will find 100 pieces per pound.

3. Use FB or Instagram Live to capture some of the chaos. If you’re group is remotely competitive, this game is gold!

4. Let teams know that the winning team gets all the Hershey Kisses from the game. It gives a little extra incentive for anyone with a sweet tooth!

This game is a fantastic one to highlight teamwork and creativity. Each team is given a minimum of 50 miniature candy canes. You can unwrap them or leave them wrapped. If you choose to leave them wrapped, I recommend giving them each a bonus minute to unwrap them before the game begins.

Once the mini candy canes are unwrapped, explain to each team that they are to see how many of those candy canes they can hook together in 60 seconds. The team with the most candy canes connected at the end of the 60 seconds is the winner!

It sounds easy, but the candy canes will break if too much pressure is applied, so teams that can combine finesse and speed will win. Whoever has the most candy canes on their chain at the end of sixty seconds wins!

Note: Some people were asking for a picture to clarify. Here is one sent in from Gloria Halfacre and her group. As you can see, they are connected together and we’ve seen off shoots on these as well. In 60 seconds, most groups will get 15 or so connected, but we’ve seen 30+! Let us know how many you get!

BONUS TIPS

1. Play some fun Christmas music to enhance the atmosphere.

2. Check to make sure candy canes aren’t broken before handing out to teams.

3. Play the game up front or involve everyone. Either way, it’s a great win!

4. Take some pics and video to put on social media. Go live during the action to share the fun with friends.
